I’d say I’m in the “wait ’til I see it” camp, but there’s no denying that Bobo has been consistent about adding new things to Georgia’s offense over the past few seasons, so let’s see what the H-back can bring.

When Hicks talks about his role, he sounds a bit like Bobo, analyzing the direction of the game and its offenses.

“Everybody is straying away from that power-I, I-formation scheme,” Hicks said. “When it works in the SEC, you’ve gotta have the foundation of running the ball, especially in our backfield. But I would say just the traditional football of running it, pounding it, (the trend) is straying away from that.

“So it would speed up our game (to use Hicks at H-back). And to basically play how they play in the NFL, out West, that football where you may be in that I-formation, maybe you’ll be in that spread offense. But you’re constantly going, and you’re going, you’ve gotta wear down the defense. So I think what Bobo is doing is he’s opening up a lot of doors, not only for me but for our players.”

Watching some NFL preseason last night, I noticed the I-formation represented quite often (maybe b/c it’s preseason and who cares). But the fullback hardly ever stayed in one spot. All I could think about was Bobo with a notepad. Seriously the Ravens’ fullback (H-Back) must have lined up in 4 different spots- all somewhat resembling the i.

That is true, NASCAR was the 2nd most valuable mark in the world behind the NFL the last time I looked so CFB is 2nd in the South. That would put the NFL no higher than 3rd in the South, perhaps not even that high.

I am actually in your camp, just acknowledging that it has an even larger following than CFB, and that is nationally too. Spent way too much time being forced to attend many of those events for many years, really hated it, and that was doing under primo conditions and still dreaded each weekend. Have to give them credit though, it is a spectacle and a money making machine.

I control my cookies, delete them daily, and it doesn’t work for me. It IS very annoying and disruptive. I notice the Ledger-Enquirer links work fine. You might try using those as all the stuff is duplicated there.

Itunes ain’t bad. It can get glitchy if you’re running it on Windows OS. I’ve had Apple machines from the original Mac to a Quadra. I still have the Mac. Needs a new power supply. I finally switched to Windows but loved the Macs. Last windows machine was an HP. Last two towers we’ve custom built. Current phone is the Note III and I love it.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717

Eh, I’m a bit of a mutt when it comes to technology…love my Macbook pro, and windows phone. Don’t like the way Apple tries to lock you into their ecosystem with iTunes and I don’t think iTunes is easy to use. Love me some Spotify tho, and my kids love them some iPad.

I believe Hicks is going to surprise a lot of people. He’s going to help us, in both the passing and running game. He (H position) also gives us a lot of flexibility and complexity, more of the unexpected, more to prepare for.

It’s not much, but he looks really good in the film clips we’ve seen. And I was already impressed with his pass-catching ability from the Spring.
